[zer0Kewl]

i just upgraded new case chieftec some extra cooling
and new 3d card 9800 xt 256 mb ddr
reinstalled my whole computer.

installed farcry test it
well in the begining it looked so cool all maxed out running nice and smooth like 40 or 60 fps or something

then litle further in the level:

Anyway asked some one told me those where core artifacts.
but that not the only thing
i play quake 3 unreal tournament 2003 and 2004 painkiller
and with those games no artifacts

so it might be a driver problem running ati catelyst drivers 4.5 from www.ati.com

my other hardware:
msi type model dunno
intel p4 2,6 ghz
2x 512 mb ddr 333mhz
audigy 2 Zs
1 dvd drive
and 1 dvd - writer
500 wat power suply cant be it asked

my system tempture right now while typing this
temp1:32c
hdd0:24c
temp2:30c
hdd1:32c

procesor something like 34c
and my 3d card: 62c seems to be normal work tempture

edit: some quick replies would be good
dunno if i posted this in the right forum

Did you install your monitor drivers and set the refresh rate correctly? Make sure AA/AF is disabled and see if that helps. I know BF: Vietnam has aa/af problems with the 9800 cards

 

[zer0Kewl]

i really doubt that its my 19 inch monitor
it runs 75 refresh rate

got vsync off in farcry

 

[johnjkr1]

I never said it was the monitor. Did you try it with vsynch on? Although, it doesn't really look like tearing.

 

[zer0Kewl]

i could try that
but it only hapens after a while i'm now on a level then it happens over 1 minut or so could be fixed if it does't show up anymore with vsync

i had probz also with raven-shield if i turn vsync off 10 fps in menu and there is't any animation 0_o weird

EDIT: vsync is on so i turned off to see change more fps some times if its off

 

[zer0Kewl]

turned off vsync and it helps
with vsync less fps and a bit mouse lag have played 1 hour with out artifacts

i just got artifacts again

Is the graphic card at stock speeds? If not, then set it at stock and try again

How about drivers? Got the latest ones installed?

I had the exact same problem, only worse, with my old ti4200. Upgraded drivers, and problem solved...

It's because you have an Intel CPU.

i get this exact type of artifacts when i OC my mem too far on my 9600... so maybe try to downclock the memory? see what happens?

You might try Omega's drivers or W1zzards drivers, freely available on the net, these have proven more stable for some configurations. Personally I use Omegas drivers as I have softmodded my card and have had no problems whatsoever in FarCry, Painkiller, UT2K4 etc.

Mess with the best, die like the rest
